Yes it is very blue...like a blue milkshake. Wait till you see the bottom, that was a ton of work. Next (if there is a next) time I may forgo the undercoating. I had to do something as the rear half underside of the car was covered with a nasty 50 year old coat of CRUD=crap+rust+undercoating+petroleum(oil). I know I will have some touch-up on the bottom when I get it home. Now I have to clear some working space in the shop...car was dropped off at the painter in August 2019...yeah no comment. Stuff just happens to fill up a void when created.

So I have asked the question a few times...for the plater, I have 99% going yellow zinc.
The only clear zinc I have going is the targa latches and the door strikers. Before I commit finishing seppuku please tell me what I am missing...

"Not everybody is a car guy"....

Brought the blue beast home this morning. At a stoplight with the windows rolled down, a guy next to me in a Mazda sedan says..."is that a Corvair"? I replied, "no it is a Porsche 914-6". His response was "Porsche huh, wow they sure have changed". I could think of nothing to say so I just smiled and nodded.

I just need to figure out where to begin. It was a long time ago when I took this apart for a "quick" resto. I am making lists and getting organized...
I have already restored the suspension and steering. I want to make sure I don't get ahead of myself. I think I will work backwards from the front of the car focusing on electronics first.

Dash paint question. I now have completely removed my dash to paint the firewall under and behind it. With the dash out, I now need to decide what color paint goes where on the dash. I presume the cockpit side is all black (satin or semi or both?), but the firewall (backside) is not clear. There is both blue and black on the backside...thoughts? Be easiest to just prime and paint the entire dash (inside and out) black, but not sure that is correct. What did the factory do?

I'm using my son's 72 1.7 to figure out my wiring harness. Front and rear trunks are accessible. Behind the dash and under the gas tank not so much. Can someone post a pic or two of how the harness is routed across the back of the dash and down through the bulkhead/firewall into the front trunk please? I need to order some grommets (914 Rubber) and some black cloth wiring harness tape (vendor?) before I secure the harness to the chassis. Is black shrink wrap the best way to re-cover the wire "hold-downs"?
Suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Lars,

The 6 looks good in paint. 914Rubber has all that you need, tape, grommets, and the wire hold down inserts. I got all of my parts from them so I'll be ready when my time comes.

As far as wiring layout check out the links. It'll will give you an idea where the harness goes. Hope it helps.

Thanks Luke! Getting organized to put in my rubber order. I probably need 80% new rubber, but just can't decide which kit to order...early, later, just out of paint etc. Anybody have any recommendations? I also need the engine compartment pieces and windscreen gaskets.

Unwound the hornets nests and started working on cleaning up the wiring. PO had done a hack job on the harness. I had a stereo wired in, and a few extra gauges for oil pressure and voltage as well as a plug for a trailer (PO was big on auto cross and me thinks he had a tire trailer. Got rid of the un-necessary and cleaned up the harnesses. All of the cloth tape was trash, but fortunately my replacement black cloth tape had just arrived. Looks a lot better...
